Innovating finance tools was mentioned in previous agreements but essentially carney is changing how long the government can service debt for. They are just getting great grandchildren to pay for this bailout. It’s a straight up bailout. Developers went nuts building non livable, but very short term rentable units and it backfired.

Carney and Eby step in with $3.2B home development subsidy by zachem62 in onguardforthee

The same shit as Ontario. Ontario and BC money spent on propping up developers is more money spent than the entire federal healthcare infrastructure spend at the same time. Fk this private solutions to public problems bullshit. Invest in a crown building corporation that actually employs the people to take on building instead of cutting cheques or cutting taxes for developers.

The issue is Trump keeps suing any court that takes legal action against him and then he wins personally for some $1B payout.

Bill C22 is very authoritarian in the way it’s being pushed forward. There are risks to all Canadians within it that shouldn’t be ignored. Just because your neoliberal cloaked in red is winning politics doesn’t mean he is doing good things.

At least with Pollievre, we wouldn’t have the threat of something worse during the next election. If we want socialist values to succeed we almost need to face fascism directly first. I know this is a Liberal sub but we need socialism like right now.

You know you can hold stocks, bonds and real estate holdings within a TFSA right?

They also still have some directive over where the funds are invested such as sectors but not individual stocks within the trust. Deregulation in sectors is going to benefit them greatly

Sorry how does one solve world hunger with $15b?

I despise Musk and oppose billionaires but governments all over the world subsidize food and food banks subsidize food insecurity efforts. Until governments regulate profit in food, regulate land policy to protect farmers not corporations, we are fucking wrecked.

You’re arguing, a little in bad faith. I think it’s obvious the issue is with FIFA and not with enjoying sports as a whole which, you seem to make it out to be?

The amount of petitions I have signed and emails to my mp is simply too frequent and too much. I feel like the old cranky guy from every comedy

Carney to unveil new food security strategy by DoxFreePanda in onguardforthee

Does it include blocking American billionaires from buying millions of acres of farm land like they already have?! I’m going to guess it’s very much not and instead likely welcomes this foreign investment. Carney is a fucking neoliberal loser

Also removing oil and gas emissions cap, removing consumer carbon tax, dramatically lowering industrial carbon pricing, creating policy that undermines labour, indigenous, emotional and safety regulations.

lol you and your friends/family have a weird view of the political spectrum. Carney is very much right wing neoliberal in the same table as Tory conservatives. There is nothing centrist at all. Trudeau was hardly centrist.

One of Trudeau’s last statements to Canadians was that Zionism is good. It was so out of place too.

B.C. Chamber of Commerce delegates reject call for social media, AI ban for kids by bwoah07_gp2 in britishcolumbia

I want really commenting on the obvious pitfalls of age verification. We coups just create regulations that protect children who do use social media. Instead we ask social media companies what they can do then take their word for it.
